In The Time of the Butterflies by Julia Alvarez
APRIL BOOK OF THE MONTH
How The Garcia Girls Lost Their Accents
When the Garcia family flees the Dominican Republic and settles in the United States, exile does not end at the border. In this groundbreaking novel,. Julia Alvarez traces the sisters' lives backward through time, revealing how migration fractures language, identity, memory, and belonging. Through a fragmented narrative structure, the novel captures the emotional cost of assimilation and the quiet negotiations required to survive between cultures.
